Brat will release their new album, Manslayer, on September 25th through Prosthetic Records.
Pre-order Manslayer here.
The self-described bimboviolence outfit recorded the album at Bricktop Recording in Chicago, IL, with Weekend Nachos‘ Andy Nelson handling production, engineering, and mastering.
A John Colgan-directed video for the first single, “Manslayer (Hell Hath No Fury),” premiered today, July 14th.
Vocalist Liz Selfish shared the following:
There’s not a lot of those tropes in death metal, which I think primarily is because there’s not a lot of women in that space. I thought that was a really cool perspective and I really liked the storytelling aspect of it.
It’s quite new territory for me, and it wasn’t necessarily an intentional thing initially. I wrote the first song for the album, and I just loved writing, and I was like, ‘I really love doing this, and I want to do more’, so I ended up writing the whole album. Brenner’s main focus is writing music – he wants to write riffs – so he wasn’t too torn up about not writing the lyrics. It was a nice passing of the torch.
We’re evolving the bimboviolence and the campiness by making it all a little bit darker with this album, and a bit more overtly violent. I think that will probably reflect in our stage show and our imagery as well, keeping it fun, not a total 180, but definitely progressing into something darker with it.
